    I need to replace the connection for the ball valve handle and the rod that that fills my live well on my 228 any help on finding that part would be appreciated. I think I need a complete new rod.

    On the water impressions of my 228

    Wow, it's in but it was not easy! Yesterday it lipped in like butter today I wrestled with it for over an hour and it would not close up the last 1/2" Finally asked a neighbor for a hand and same thing even with him using needle nose pliers to align things. Took it back out and rested a bit...

    I pulled it back off?? I'll put it back and just put a couple bolts in and make sure it shifts. The gear in front off the housing doesn't want to turn with my hand is that normal?

    So I got the boat back late yesterday from the upholstery shop. I put the bottom end with the new water pump kit back on the motor today but I don't want to run it in my driveway with the ears or in a barrel. So I'll run it up to the lake later this week. My question is when I put it in gear...

    Picked up 2004 Yamaha T8 yesterday from a guy in Coast side fishing club. Been sitting in his garage for years. He never installed it on a boat.
